arXiv:2607. 23647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can summarize heterogeneous user evidence in natural language, but current LLM recommenders often collapse enduring preferences, transient intent, and exposure-induced behavior into one profile.

Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as powerful backbones for recommender systems by reformulating recommendation as a token-level generation task. Despite their promise, we identify a pervasive yet underexplored issue: $\textit{Length Bias}$.
arXiv:2606. 03091v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential recommendation systems are widely adopted but often deployed as black-box APIs, which has driven recent interest in model extraction to replicate their capabilities locally.

arXiv:2511. 07280v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Personalized recommendation systems shape much of user choice online, yet their targeted nature makes separating out the value of recommendation and the underlying goods challenging.

arXiv:2608. 10240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-modal sequential recommenders assume every item carries every modality, but real product catalogs often miss images or text, and a model trained on complete data loses much of its recommendation accuracy when a modality is unavailable at serving time.

arXiv:2606. 06225v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Collaborative filtering and graph-based recommendation models are highly effective because they leverage observed user interactions, but this dependence creates a fundamental cold-start challenge when newly added content has no interaction history.
